|Commitments|
Complications don’t negate commitments.
|Steve Arterburn|
Life can be challenging. We all hit bumps in the road. That doesn’t mean we should allow the bumps to compromise our integrity. Whether it’s a passion project, a relationship, a personal goal, or just giving your word, sticking to it through thick and thin shows real strength. Your word is an extension of and an example of your character. Look at it from the perspective that – you’ve made a decision and “…I will keep my word. I will find solutions…improvements… ask for help… but I will keep my word…” See that decision through. This is where trust is built. It’s easy to stay committed when things are smooth sailing. The real test is when stuff gets complicated. Growing up, my daughters often heard, “The right thing is the right thing, even when it’s hard.” Frequently, this was applied to keeping a commitment. I wanted them to be known for their character – their reputation. Your character, your reputation is not just a trivial thing or an afterthought, it’s one of your most valuable assets. Guard it. Protect it. Preserve it. It’s what makes the journey truly worth it!
